What is an international volunteer camp?

The international volunteer camps for young people aim to strengthen intercultural learning, personal development and the reinforcement of solidarity values, while you carry out your work as a volunteer.

To carry out this activity, the Youth Institute is a member of the Alliance of European Voluntary Organizations, an International Non-Governmental Organisation, mostly European, made up of organizations that work in the development of the International Voluntary Service (IVS) and that promotes projects and activities of volunteering and international cooperation. It is the organization that brings together the organizing associations of volunteer camps from around the world and allows the exchange of their places among its members.

Injuve coordinates the exchange of places in international volunteer camps, both in the Autonomous Communities for young foreigners and those offered by foreign associations to young Spaniards.
